Sad, in several ways

New York passers-by leave good Samaritan to die
In contrast to the apes' reactions to death, we have this:
A homeless man in New York City who was stabbed after coming to a woman's aid was left to die while passers-by ignored him, CCTV footage has shown.

Police said that at least 25 people walked past Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax as he bled to death on a pavement in Queens.

The 31-year-old from Guatemala was repeatedly stabbed by a man as he intervened during the attack last week.

The footage shows it was an hour and a half before somebody tried to rouse him and contacted the emergency services.

RIP to someone who did a good deed--and suffered for it with his life, as others refused to do the right thing.
